After buying a heat pump, you can set the indoor and outdoor units up on their own, but a qualified, trained installer is necessary to complete the installation and connections and provide an Electrical Code of Compliance. We have a team of trained and qualified installers in all our regions.

Auckland Council say "You do not need a qualified and registered person to install the heat pump. You do need a certified electrician (licensed electrical worker) to connect the unit to the electrical supply. Once complete, you should receive an Electrical Certificate of Compliance and Electrical Safety Certificate post installation."

Take care that anyone you engage to install your heat pump is sufficiently qualified and can give you the necessary Electrical Code of Compliance to protect both your heat pump and your home safety.

Installation of a High Wall Heat Pump

Correct location of your indoor unit is essential for optimum performance and for comfort. Placement of a high wall system:

• is ideally on an outside wall,
• should not be directly above where you will be sitting as it will create draughts and possibly noise nuisance,
• cannot be too close to the ceiling or an adjacent wall.

The clearances required when installing the indoor unit of your heat pump are shown on the diagrams below.

Air clearances around heat pumps

For the best heating performance, locate the outdoor unit in the warmest location, e.g. on a north or west facing wall (and south or east for cooling).

Brightr Heat pump Installation

We are experts and can help you choose the perfect spot to install the heat pump based on the layout of your home.

Consumer NZ's survey found the cost of heat pump installation varied more than the cost of the units themselves, ranging from $850 to $1,500 for a back-to-back install.

Before committing to buying a heat pump from an appliance retailer you should check the installation price and get advice on whether installation in your home will cost more than a back-to-back.

Brightr's prices always include installation and we only install the heat pumps we sell.

Our sales advisors can advise you of all the costs involved.

Most of our heat pump installers and air conditioning installation is done by our own professional installation teams. Ocassionally due to demand or location we may use a contractor that meets our strict training and health & safety criteria.
